Welcome, bluefruitbowl. I have a yellowfruitbowl I made that sits on my kitchen counter. I fill it with lemons from my own lemon tree. Please come back and play with us some more. I see from your profile your name is Mia. Odds are you are of the female persuasion. Please tell themilum so he doesn't get too embarassed.

So, how did the Hebrew "Hawwah" mutate in English to "Eve"?

You do? But we've hardly met. Stultus est licut stultus facit. Edit for non-Latiners: "Stupid is as stupid does."

Putting aside the fact that in this particular forum signatures are marginally less welcome than Michael Moore at a Bush family reunion, the choice of an insulting tagline deliberately obscured in Latin does raise intersting questions about the user's notion of courteous social intercourse.

You might want to check your declensions before you post something in Latin, bluefruitbowl, especially if it looks like an insult! You're dealing with a group, some of whom, marginally at least, know Latin. Ave, et die dulci fruere! PS Yes, I am female, if my bio-page is to be believed.

I also had thought that it should be nominative but on reconsideration I'm thinking that accusative *is correct. It's the old accusative subject with infinitive verb thang that the Romans were so fond of and us poor case-unconscious Anglophones have total lost track of. And as far as Fools go, around here I'm the head Fool.
